What happens here
Adjacent to the newly renovated deck, a spacious new patio is being constructed. Large, light-colored pavers are laid to form the main surface of the patio. Dark accent features, likely dark pavers or border stones, are incorporated into the design to add visual interest and to complement the black railings of the deck. The installation process typically involves preparing a solid base (e.g., compacted gravel and sand), laying the pavers, and then sweeping polymeric sand into the joints to lock them in place and deter weeds.
Goal: Install a new paver patio with dark accent features that harmonize with the renovated deck.
